Generally, I like to keep my family off of my blog out of respect, but after the persistence and nagging of my soon to be sister in law – I share with you my soon to be nephew! It’s taken a couple of years, but I think Dante has finally warmed up to my camera…
Five years old proves a roller coaster of emotions and moods – but sometimes a mood can provide the most interesting of photographs… A personal favorite…
And just one in color…

Do you know that my favorite thing about my job (besides the coolest kids in America) is getting to know my clients. I would say that 98% of the time I walk away from my sessions feeling like I’ve made a new friend, and that my life is that much richer for knowing another really awesome person/family/couple. I truly LOVE meeting new people and I whole heartedly believe that with every session I not only become a better photographer, but I become a better, more rounded, more interesting person – simply from the people I meet.
This was one of those sessions. I had the BEST time shooting this portrait session. We were at Longwood Gardens, early in the morning, and imagine my surprise when a gorgeous mom arrives with a (sit-n-stand!) stroller and two equally beautiful children. My camera practically jumped out of the bag! It was a morning of beautiful pictures, behaved children and interesting conversation with a cool mom. My job honestly doesn’t get any easier than that.
So – here you go…
What some women would pay (and do pay!) to have curls like this…
And just one in color…
Today’s quote for the day doesn’t have much to do with these pictures – it’s just from my own little arsenal of family commentary. My mother and I were recently discussing the “glass half full – glass half empty” argument that so many people have. I told her that I was, am and always will be a “glass half full” kind of person. Her response left me speechless:
“Jessi, honey, the glass isn’t half full, or half empty – the glass is simply too big.”
So, I leave you to ponder that.
I had THE best time shooting this session. Sweet parents, an adorable munchkin, and a PRAM! OMG, I think my eyes must have bugged out when I saw the thing… SO excited!!!

Wide open to the sun.”
